| Want to learn software abstraction layer of devices. Where do I start?
Eventually I want to create an application that links a bunch of different hardware components. I currently know high level languages like Java, VB .NET, and MYSQL, but nothing about hardware interaction. I want to start with learning the software abstraction layer of devices. Any books or links to get me started would be great?      |

There are a lot of layers to device IO. If you are interested in Winodows, DeviceIoControl() (See link) is the lowest abstraction you can typically use, without getting into device drivers and the kernel mode. In Linux use the ioctl() function. See the wikipedia link for a nice overview. Device drivers are a lower level, requiring a lot of specific OS and specific device hardware knowledge. |
